>>Pretoria Boeremark (Farmer's Market)

My very good friend Clarise took me to the Pretoria boeremark last weekend. This market has been running for over 20 years and is definitely worth the early Saturday wake-up call. The market only runs from 5h30 am to 9h00 am, but never mind...by the time you get home at 8h00 you'll feel like you've done so much,while the rest of Pretoria is probably only just waking up.oO

This is a real Afrikaaner culture bonanza, and I love it! You will find traditional moerkoffie, braai stands with hot meat and mielies, all kinds of fresh produce, hand made clothes and jewelry, and gorgeous flowers for dirt cheap prices. It won't be the most designy place you'll ever visit, but it is aethentic, which makes it nice.  Our day was kicked off with a cup of fresh coffee and pannekoek, and then we took a slow stroll through the market in the fresh morning air.

Definitely worth the outing if you've never been to this boeremark!
